fleapit

Bacon was intensely aware of this culture, which connected left-bank bookshops with fleapit hotels.

“Craig Salt's yacht's over in Poole, so he drove over to address the troops. Couldn't just swan off to the local fleapit with you, I'm afraid.”

So I was in this fleapit in Cairo, which has probably long since burned down, called the Oxford hotel.

I filmed other gigs too, such as at the Roxy cinema - a terrible old fleapit in Harlesden which happened to share the same name.

Bucharest could have been an interesting character in itself, but I doubt the Romanian Tourism Board will be doing much international marketing with footage of the lawless, drug-plagued fleapit portrayed.
